Sacred Journey 2026 marks the beginning of an ancestral voyage across the Caribbean Sea, where brave canoeists bring to life a Maya tradition more than 500 years old. Departing from Polé, an ancient pre-Hispanic port located in what is now Xcaret, they set course for Cozumel to honor Ixchel, goddess of the moon, fertility, and creation.
Canoes of Ceiba and Salt is a live, immersive experience that honors navigation as a sacred act and physical effort as a form of devotion. The ceiba, a sacred tree and the axis of the Maya cosmos, salt as a symbol of human labor, and the color red as an expression of life and offering, give shape to a narrative that weaves together spirituality, commerce, and living tradition.
Through ritual, dance, live music, and symbols inspired by ancient worldviews, the journey brings the greatness of the pre-Hispanic world vividly to life.
